I learned about waco tonight..
..and I'm absolutely apalled.
Part I http://video.google.com/url?docid=4298137966377572665 Part II http://video.google.com/url?docid=-1755692679103175934 I'm not sure what to be more disgusted with. The actions of the faceless military might or the lies and coverup afterwards. (I searched and found no OP about this subject)

Cliff notes? I also knew something wrong happened, but don't know any real details. How unbiased are these videos? [/ QUOTE ] Group has a compound in Waco, TX. Feds move in to serve warrents and raid (on pretty shaky grounds if I remember correctly) and a clusterf*ck insues. Chain of command is totally FUBAR and the soldiers there act inappropriatly (big suprise I know). In the end, David Koresh (group's messiah/leader) and his group were doing plenty of illegal things, but the whole mess was a black eye for the ATF and Justice department because it was handled so poorly.

There's a religious cult in there that plans to commit mass suicide when the meteor shower starts. Barbrady: Are you sure? ATF lead: Of course we're sure! We're the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms! It's our job to know what these fanatics do! Barbrady: So what does the ATF do when religious fanatics are gonna commit mass suicide? ATF lead: Oh, don't worry! We won't let that happen! Even if it means we have to kill each and every one of them.
